The Issue of Blood Diamonds: Realizations and Suggestions

Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Without a doubt, some consider purchasing diamonds as a most luxurious endeavor. Others associate such radiant gems with the most memorable moments in life. Many remain unaware however, that a piece of diamond that symbolizes happiness might actually be synonymous with war. Simply put, not all diamond pieces should be perceived in a positive manner, as countless people have died due to inappropriately-sourced gems and many continue to suffer because of illegal diamond trade. In this sense, it would be best to learn more about diamond-related controversies before buying another piece.

During the 1990s, quite a number of diamond pieces sold throughout the world were linked to civil wars. Such pieces eventually became known as blood diamonds. As to be expected, many would wonder as to how such gems could fuel war and suffering. To explain, countless Sierra Leone citizens were killed and some were even left limbless due to the Revolutionary United Front's (RUF) battles against the government. Such conflicts did not occur randomly however, as the RUF targeted diamond mining areas during their attacks, forcing innocent individuals to gather such expensive gems so as to be able to purchase more weapons.

While most diamond lovers would indeed be shocked upon learning of such a fact, it is only to be expected that most of such individuals would hastily assume that diamond-related wars have already ended. Even though it cannot be denied that those in Sierra Leone are now experiencing a period of peace, it is evident that blood diamonds still exist. Throughout other regions in the African continent, quite a number of individuals are still forced to mine the aforesaid commodities. In certain places, even children are used as mere tools to gather such brilliant gems: a practice that obviously robs them of the opportunity to enjoy their lives.

With these points in mind, some people would expectedly be worried as to whether they would end up contributing to diamond-related conflicts and suffering, after buying jewelry that feature such sought-after gems. Fortunately, it would still be possible to buy diamonds that are acquired through proper means. The simplest way to find a piece of diamond that has been mined and polished by individuals who are of legal age and are given proper wages, is to make it a point to ensure that one's diamond company of choice supports the Kimberly Process: an international diamond tracking method.

Those rather knowledgeable about the abovementioned diamond-related issues would most likely point out that merely finding a seller that follows the Kimberly Process is not a definitive means of purchasing a diamond that is not linked to conflict. With this in mind, it becomes clear that when in the market for such striking gems, it would also be necessary to choose companies that make it a point to provide details regarding the source of their offerings. All in all, while the existence of blood diamonds is indeed most worrisome, it cannot be denied that purchasing properly-gathered diamond pieces is still relatively uncomplicated.
